To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ROBERT GoRNELY,resident of Paris, France, haveinvented a new and useful Ornamental Seam, which is fully 5 set forth inthe following specification.

My invention relates to seams, and particularly to ornamental seams.

-.In U. S. Patent No. 292,284, dated January 22, 1884, a machine isdescribed and claimed for winding a thread around several rows ofchain-stitches which are produced out of a single thread, thus producincross portions on one face of the materizfi; and

the object of this invention is to produce a highly ornamentalembroidery and edging seam by introducing a stuffing material into i vthe seam in question.

The invention will be better understood by reference to the accompanyingdrawings,

wherein- Figure 1 is a view of the seam on the front face of the goods,the stuffing material being omitted; Fig. 2 is a like view of the seamwith the stuffing material associated therewith;

and Fig. 3 is a view of the seam on the rear side of the material.

Referring to the drawings, a are loops produced by two hook needles outof a single thread on one face of the goods, and b indicates the crossinportions of the thread a on the other side 0 the goods.

, c is a thread which is wound around the two rows of stitches a, and dis any suitable or desired stuffing material around which the vention abetter effect is given to the seam,

by thus filling up and raising the same, and

.that a highly desirable ornamental embroidery and edging seam is thussecured.

Claim.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence oftwo subscribing witnesses.
